Over the years he spent his free time hunting, fixing the family’s beloved tractor, and working on cars. One of his favorite ways to spend a day was covered in grease under a walnut tree sharing his knowledge and love of working on cars with his son and grandsons,

On any given day, you could find Bill in the stands watching his grandchildren and later his great-grandchildren as they played sports and participated in school events.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and family. 

He is survived by wife Norma, children John and Jamie(Bob), grandchildren Shannon, Elizabeth(Matthew), Blaine(Natalie), Brandon(Christianne), Matthew(Corinne), and great-grandchildren Presley, Rosey, Blythe, Brynnlyn, Barron, Harper, Alivia, and Caden.

When his daughter Paige was younger Lance enjoyed the life of a softball dad and jazz band roadie and even had a brief stint as the booking agent for the Hot n‘ Tots Jazz Band.

In retirement Lance was able to pursue his lifelong passion, classic cars. First purchasing a 1929 then a 1931 Model A, Lance and Charlie were very active in both the Delta and Tokay A groups. He loved traveling both at home and abroad with his newfound Model A family. Lance was an amazing friend and truly a loving, generous man. His final advice was to live life in kindness, something he excelled at. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle.

He is survived by his only child Paige Turley, her wife Gina, his grandson Gabriel, brother Chuck, his wife Maryanne, their son Trevor, his Eilers Lane family who he loved and the Travelers. He left this earth to meet back up with his wife of 55 years Charlie.
